SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Proponents of Proposition 8, California‘s 2008 voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage, have been ordered to pay $49,000 in fines after failing to report contributions received for the campaign.

The California Fair Political Practice Commission ordered the fines against the “ProtectMarriage.com Yes on 8” campaign for allegedly failing to report several donations over $5,000, and for failing to properly dispose of an anonymous $10,000 contribution.

According to the Commission, more than $1 million in contributions were not properly reported.
